In response TO an appeal, the British
government has decided 10 send men-of-
war TO the marintne provinces next
spring to cooperate with the Canadian
cruises in the enforcement Of the fisheries
treaty. This action Of the English gov
eminent gives universal satisfaction in
the provinces.
A cabinet minister, speaking on the sub
ject, expressed himself as follows: II
have come TO the conclusion that Ameri-
can legislators, having gone so far, will
never yield consent TO the appointment
Of n commission. Gloucester fishermen
will not venture into our waters again in
force, and next April will witness the first
startling falling of in their trade. Two
years hence the splendid Yankee fishing
feet will be thing OF the past. Let them
resort to retaliation il they will, and the
result will be that the game will work both
ways. Portland now winter port OF
Canada, will decline. while Halifax, under
the new order of things will flourish A
civil war between the eastern and the
western states would follow the adoption
of a retaliatory bill

THE FIRE In QUEBEC

QuEsEc, July THE fire in this
city last night broke out in the stables
attached to the barracks at the Cita-
del. The stable picket is said to have
been fast asleep. The stables and the
sheds on the ramparts are built en-
tirely OF wood, and it is the general
belief thai wooden buildings in such
an impo tsnt fortress as the Citadel,
and in place where large quantities.
of powder are stored should not have
been tolerated. An investigation will
be held. The excited citizens did not
seek their homes Until 8 o'clock In the
morning. The most intense alarm
prevailed throughout the city until
the fire was got thoroughly under con-
troll. At one time there were fully
5000 men, women and children walk.
ing about the streets. Many made
their way TO the surrounding country
In carrisges and carts and on foot, fear
ing an explosion of the powder in the
magazine would occur. The feeling
Was perhaps most manifest along
Champaign street, right under the
great fortress, as il was known that a
great quantity Of powder was stored
therein. When, Their, fore, several ex-
blossoms occurred al midnight, the
people held their breath AID sought
the best shelter available. The crowd
on the Glacis and on the bill leading
to the citadel, made q terrible rush
down the hill till they got where they
supposed themselves out OF range o.
the dangerous missiles. This alarm
subsidized somewhat when II was 10 Inc
that no damsge was caused, and th,
subsequent explosions caused littl,
fear. The Governor Generals anC
officers quarters, stables Of artillery

at $4,000; no insurance.

The stockbrIdee course.

About 7.30 o'clock last evening, when
Grimmer's Orchestra started the first selec-
ton in their half hour concert, there were
some fifty or sixty gentlemen gathered in
City Hall, anxious to take part in the auction
sale Of seats to the Stockbridge course, and
this number was steadily augmented by
new corners until, at O'Clock, there were
at least three hundred anxious to secure
choice tickets. In the meantime Grimmer's
band played several selections with much
taste and expression, every number receiving
hearty applause. The electric lights flicker
ed, sunk, went out, relighted, and played all
sorts of pranks until they were finally got
into subsection. In front of the stage a ia
BILE was placed for Mr.. Allen, of the firm of
F. o. Bailey q Co., auctioneers, and Mr.. Dy
er, of the City Treasurer's office, who gave
out the numbers and collected the premiums.
The successful bidders would receive a num-
bered ticket from Mr.. Dyer, and then go into
the ante-r0Om where Mr.. Will Stockbridge
delivered the tickets and pegged the board,
after the course money had been paid to Mr..
Morse, who kept the cash. We have been
requested not to name the successful bidders
SO we will simply say that the sale was very
spirited and lasted an hour. In that time
eighty numbers were given out, representing
4SO seats. The first premium was announced
as $47. the second $40, the third $40, fourth
Sl7, fifth $i4. sixth $1,000. seventh $11,
eighth, ninth and tenth, $40 each, eleventh
50, twelfth $40. thirteenth SO, and then
down to ten cents for the eightieth choice
AT $6 for the course, about $3.50 must have
been taken for course tickets alone, and
with the premiums, some $500. there were
$3.50 taken in last night The audience ap-
plauded the bidders, and spurred them on
with cheers and laughter. Course tickets
can now be procured at Stockbridge's,
about as many excellent seats remaining as
have been sold.
